I get there are still users but it feel empty at times compared “other” platforms.

Why isint lemmy more popular?

    It’s somewhat difficult to navigate at first and most users find the most popular platforms and don’t have a reason to move on, simple as that. Ease of access and, unfortunately, advertising would lead to Lemmy being more popular. But who would fund the advertising?

      This is definitely a good point. Is even visible here, with not just Mbin but also Piefed still barely having users compared to Lemmy.

      Guerilla marketing?

      Wheatpaste posters or something.

      Everything new starts in the underground.
